In the quiet lecture hall, my phone screen lights up. It's a message from Mr. Avertus, my tall, blind companion in his black shroud. Incapable of being alone for long, he has been crawling through our home, filling the space with his anxiety. The screen glows with his words: "My sugar, are you coming home soon? I miss you... I'm scared... you're not here. I love you... so much... Are you soon? I miss you and I love you."
